'Regard as' is the correct idiom.

Consider (without the 'as') is the correct idiom. Correct sentence using consider:

Many scholars consider the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru (NO AS) the most impressive in South America.

"Consider + as" is always considered wrong in GMAT.
"Regards + as" is correct idiom.

This might be helpful in solving this:
Idioms-
Consider x y (no “to be”)
RIGHT: I consider Mark my friend.
WRONG: I consider Mark to be my friend.
Regard as
Correct: We regard him as part of the family.

Hence (A) seems correct.

" Consider X Y " is an idiom with built in parallel structure

X must be a noun (that you are describing ) and Y a noun OR adjective ( the level/designation OR the quality you are assigning to X)

How about "Many scholars consider the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru to be the most impressive in South America? I understand that that is not one of the options, but is it grammatically correct?
